Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Rinse the beef short ribs under cold water and pat dry. Trim excess fat.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, chili paste, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Place short ribs in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour marinade over ribs, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  5. Heat a skillet, add oil, and sear short ribs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer ribs to a roasting pan, pour leftover marinade over them, and arrange in a single layer.
  7. Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
  8. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes to caramelize.
  9. Check if the beef is fork-tender. If not, cover again and roast, checking every 30 minutes.
  10. Let the short ribs rest for 10-15 minutes, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
